BOOK 1
Chapter 1- An Unexpected Invitation
Dan's POV
I carefully eyeball the cardboard package of Maltesers at the top of the 'forbidden foods cupboard.' Mum has a special cupboard in the corner of the kitchen too high up for me to reach where she keeps all of the foods that I 'eat to much of.'
Right about now, I would love nothing more than to indulge in just one sweet ball of malt, chocolate, and pure perfection.
"Daniel!" Mum shouts from upstairs.
"Yes, Mum?" I respond, equally as loud.
"Do you mind fetching the mail dear?"
"Alright!" I shout as I hop down from my kitchen stool and head to the front door.
When I reach the front of the house, I find a large stack of letters. I pick up the post, and begin to sift through it.
Mum, Mum, Dad, Mum, Dad, Dad, Daniel, Mum… wait…
"Daniel!" I say aloud. I actually have mail!
I put the letters on the dining room table and run up to my room with the letter addressed to me.
I take a seat on the edge of my bed and begin to pick at the red, wax seal marked with a big 'H' I open the browned envelope and take out the parchment inside. It takes me a minute to process the first couple of words inside.
